Description
This Grade II listed two-bedroom cottage is part of Ripley’s historic estate village, a short distance north of Harrogate. Believed to date from the early to mid 19th century, it is built in Gothic style with coursed gritstone walls and a grey slate roof. The property is offered in need of modernisation and refurbishment, providing scope to update its characterful accommodation while respecting its listed status.
At the rear, a courtyard adjoins the house and an outbuilding provides storage. Beyond these is a long lawned garden extending to Orchard Lane. Ripley has village facilities including a shop, butcher, pub, primary school and recreation amenities, with bus services to Harrogate, Ripon and Leeds via Harrogate. The A61 provides road connections towards the A1(M) and A59.

Confidence: MEDIUM
At £275,000, this Grade II listed period cottage is priced attractively against the local market: its £272 per sq ft is around 23% below the local average. That gives a buyer scope to take on a light modernisation project while retaining its distinctive stone frontage and decorative glazing. The photographed finishes are dated, with older flooring and decoration across several rooms; the existing renovation range is £5,000–£15,000. As a listed home, any planned changes should be approached with its status in mind.
The maintained garden is a particular asset, with a lawn, greenhouse and stone outbuildings, and the village setting offers useful local amenities and connections to Harrogate. The glazed conservatory-like space and its roof warrant a closer condition check.
Key opportunities
- Refresh dated decoration and flooring across the photographed rooms to give the cottage a more cohesive feel.
- Make the most of the distinctive stone exterior, decorative glazing and period character.
- Build on the long lawned garden, greenhouse and stone outbuildings as useful outdoor and storage features.
Key risks
- Check the condition of the conservatory-like glazed space and its roof.
- Grade II listed status may affect the scope and approach to planned changes.
